<font face="Calibri,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="2" color="black"><span style="font-size: 15px;">I am curious what percentage of taxes your library residents pay towards Library Services. I recently visited family in Chicago, and their local library had
a poster made up showing the residents paid only 1%, a penny per dollar for their library service. Made me wonder about the Michigan average.</span></font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="2" color="black"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
</span></font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="2" color="black"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br>
For example, our library is .799 mil out of 32.7229s mills total - which is about 2.5%. </span></font></div>

Perhaps this has already been done? Thanks.</font></div>
